How to fix ASMedia USB 3.0 on El Capitan ?

[simras]

Excuse me for my ignorance... but about the injection I have a problem, it's impossible for me to find in my dsdt the "way" /DSDT/_BS/PCI0/XHC1/RHUB/PTR3 like pokenguyen said.

Here a screen shot of where i am blocked, I use MaciASL and i can't go more far that /DSDT/_BS/PCI0/

I see that there is another /_SB in the dsdt but they have not the "folder" PCI0, this one in the screen shot is the only one.

My Smbios for information is iMac 14,2.

 

I go modify my informations profile.

Use "find" function from MacIasl Menu, search device "XHC"

[simras]

I try it but nothing... i am sure that its impossible to find it, its missing.

I link my dsdt if someone want to check, the only thing similar that i found is that, but i think its about sata port.

You have device XHC, but not PTR3

Your HW is the one in signature?

[simras]

Strange why did we need to find on a different "way" for XHC ?

I have modified this morning my signature, my motherboard is an msi z97a gaming 9 ack.

 

edit : my dsdt is not broken ?

Your DSDT seems to be OK, how did you extract?

Post a IOREG

[simras]

with clover by pressing F4 in the bootloader.

 

Edit : here a screen of what found about xhc, always speak about 14, that means that i have 14 usb 3.0 ports ?

I know that on my motherboard i have 2 USB 3.1 ports, 6 USB 3.0 ports and 2 USB 2.0 ports.

on my case i have 2 USB 3.0 ports and 2 USB 2.0 ports.

That make a total of 14 ports usb.

I don't know if ASM1074 works, i've patched DSDT for Intel USB3 and USB2, test if the Intel USB ports works fine

First DSDT  have the USB3 named XHC, the other have USB3 renamed XHC1.

If the ASM1074 don't works for you, try new release of GenericUSBXHCI

Ok so i place that 2 files under patched in acpi in EFI and install that version or that version for GenericUSBXHCI ?

Thank you.

[carbo178]

Put only one DSDT in Patched, test it and replace with the other (renamed DSDT.aml)

Keep what they works better

 

GenericUSBXHCI by Rehabman (sorry, i forgot to specify)

[simras]

Ok so i try the two dsdt with the lasted version of GenericUSBXHCI kext in /extensions and nothing. I forgot to say that with GenericUSBXHCI my usb 3.0 does not mount, and when the kext is not installed, they can mount.

And i go in specs its always 480 mb/s with ou without the kext and the dsdt.

[carbo178]

Nor intel works?

Unfortunately ASM107x is recognized as a HUB, not a controller, i don't have idea for solve the problem

[simras]

New problems i delete the kext and the dsdt and impossible for me to remount usb 3.0 :/

 

why did you speak about intel ? Intel only use 2.0 and all of the 3.0 are managed by asmedia.

Reboot

[simras]

nothing :/

[carbo178]

Boot without cache, rebuild cache and reboot

Nothing, that for help, i go start a new post think that i am different ;p

[pkdesign]

You don't really need the DSDT edits. It's quicker and easier to just edit the info.plist and remove the device ID match. Have a look here.

 

This method worked for me. Not sure i am getting full speed though. Testing a USB thumbdrive with Blackmagic I get approx 30Mb/s R/W no matter if I use the drive in the USB 3 port or USB 2. But at least I can use the USB 3 ports.

 

GenericUSBXHCI did not work for me. It was very, very flaky.

 

I use to use a very elegant solution under Yosemite that only involved injecting a few lines in my Clover "Kext to Patch" so I was able to use native driver. I really wish I could do this again.

 

And yes, I do not see it in System Profiler like I use to under Yosemite.

[Swerve]

If I get the Inateck KT4006 for my P55A-UD4P, would El Capitan recognize and work with my Anker 7-port USB 3.0 hub? Because when I was using the hub with Mavericks, System Profiler would say it was using VIA labs (using the GenericUSBXHCI kext); and mounting , reading and writing drives were extremely slow, slower than USB 2! Would getting the Inateck solve these issues ? And would I also able to use the Anker hub without speed and mounting issues, if I get the Inateck?

Hey, just necroposting this to report that ASM1042a is apparently natively supported now. I'm on a real MBP using a nanotech ExpressCard with ASMEDIA chipset, running 10.11.6, and was VERY surprised to discover it's still working after removing GenericUSBXHCI. And of course, it shows under System information and all, because it's now being driven by AppleUSBXHCIPCI.

I have a 1042a controller on my motherboard and the ports don't really work, one in a blue moon the system will boot up showing something attached to one of these ports but I'm a bit of a noob and no idea how to try to fix.

Is your device ID 1B21:1142? that's the exact identifier of my working chip.

Are you using 10.11.6 or better (I assume it also works in Sierra, though I haven't really tried it)?

 

If both of those are "yes", then maybe you just need to add the ports to your DSDT. In my case, they are under EXCD since it's an expresscard, but as I reported previously, it is fully recognized by the native AppleUSBXHCIPCI driver (and in fact it works much better than it ever did with GenericUSBXHCI).

AsMedia 1042 works well on my system

Thanks for the above replies, I'll have a crack at getting it working next weekend as I'm using my PC/Mac all week and would prefer not to make a mistake and lose the Highpoint riser I have in there.

 

I need to get my head around getting all the port information and adding to DSDT, as I haven't tackled osx86 problems for over a year now and used some noob auto-installer tools to get this running this time and it's just USB I'm having issues with.

 

The aforementioned auto-installer installed GenericUSB kext... do I need to remove this before using the caldigit from carbo's post kexts or editing DSDT?

 

I also installed x99injector kext and used Clover Configurator to add patches EHC1 - EH01 and EHC2 - EH02 but this didn't get me anywhere. 

[Lord Kamina]

You don't need GenericUSBXHCI nor Caldigit... those kexts are NOT compatible with 10.11+... GenericUSBXHCI kind of sorta works but is very unstable and I doubt Caldigit works at all.

If you're on 10.11.6, the vanilla OSX kext is enough. You probably just need to put the proper devices in the DSDT if it doesn't work right away (look up the DSDT injection guide using lspci)

 

Attached is proof.
